Summary:
"Where there's life there's hope, and need of vittles."
Inko reflects on her apprehensions about Izuku being a Hero while she makes katsudon for dinner.
Prompt: "I want to be a healer, and love all things that grow and are not barren."
Characters: Izuku Midoriya, Inko Midoriya, All for One
In this forest is where Izuku feels most comfortable among the flowers and the gentle breeze. The sound of birds chirping gently among the wind as he embraces the call of nature in these beautiful green meadows.
Lately there have been patches of barren soil that would seem to cross the land. Random patches that seem to be of someone's footsteps seemingly sucking up life around them.
Thankfully Izuku had some magic to patch up the mess but each day it seemed to grow closer and closer to his village. As if was testing the waters of the area in the dead of night.
He wondered if it was fairies or monsters the thought terrified him as his mother warned him. That he was touched by magic and eventually someone would come for him.
He told his mother and she grew incredibly pale whispering, "He knows he can't be around here."
Izuku didn't understand. Only that she begin to teach him potions for healing and medicine.
Then the patches reached the village and a disease seemed to sweep the land. His mother being a victim along with many others that he was helpless to stop. Left with only books and the knowledge of his mother's dying words.
"You will be ok. You're special he… He's seeking the green meadows that he can no longer have," she whispered as if to assure him. Even as every breath caused her pain, "You will be ok Izuku, he's scary but he won't- He can't hurt you."
Izuku never got an answer. He was the only one untouched by the disease as many other's luck enough to avoid the plague packed up and left. He was slowest to pack up feeling a sense of melancholy at the idea of having to leave his childhood home because of some unknowable monster.
Unfortunately it didn't seem like he was being given a choice.
The death lands have finally reached his doorstep. As if had stood there for the longest time just leeching the life. The delicately cared for flowers and trees were twisted and blackened with decay. Everything that had been full of life was drained from them even the door seemed warped.
Though he couldn't see him he knew the man was in front of him. As he hears a deep voice in his ear, "I have finally found you. My little miracle…"
Izuku felt the touch and it was like he had been tainted. The invisible specter took form in front of him. As the smell of death and decay grew the touch of bones against his shoulder.
But he collapsed from the overwhelming stench of death.
—————
When he woke up the stench remained though it wasn't as strong. Though he was greeted by a man covered head to toe in a black robe. Only the glint of red from his eyes were clear and the stench seemed to be from him.
"I worried I killed you also some how," the 'creature' speaks as Izuku's eyes glance at the others hands. Skeleton white fingers contrasted with the black robe bits of flesh seemed to have been peeled off.
"Even though I'm quite sure those of my blood are supposed to be immune to my poison," the other muses and Izuku felt his mouth dry. This man wasn't human or if he was he no longer walked among the living. Hiding his face under the hood was purposeful.
"You see I've lost quite a bit of my ability to see. Magic can compensate but it still takes a bit of navigating," the man coos as he lifts a hand to pull back his hoodie. "So tell me. What happened to your mother?"
Instead of a head there was a featureless crushed skull. Skin clinging to his damaged skull head as there were no eyes, nose or ears. Any blood that has likely been there has since dried and the skull despite being fractured barely holds its shape.
Making Izuku more sure this man was a walking corpse.
"You killed her," Izuku was quick to tell this man and it seemed for a second he was solemn.
"Oh… I didn't know she had passed it on… I had wished to speak to her one last time," that man seemed almost sincere but Izuku had no idea who this man was. Looking at him suspiciously he tries to figure him out.
Then the thing turns to somehow look at him. Those empty eye sockets send a chill down his spine as the man hums softly.
"Well I guess we will have all the time we need to get to know each other," the man speaks as if a whole village hadn't died. That Izuku's mother didn't die just from his very presence. The whole area smelled of stench and decay when Izuku still held memories of those beautiful meadows.
He snaps.
"Why do you smell and inflict death on everything around you!? You KILLED my mother with a plague and everything what makes you think I would be ok with that!?" Izuku shouts frankly infuriated at the audacity of this stranger. That he would treat his mothers death as just a pity instead of a tragedy.
There is a heavy pause as the figure of death seemed to smile. As if the others shouting was simply amusement.
"Because eventually your power of life will become that of death too if not careful. If you are anything like me," his body creaks as he stands showing how large he was as he walks toward Izuku. Reaching out he grabs Izuku's face as he forces him to look at his 'face'.
"My brother has long since chosen to die instead of live like this," In the pit of Izuku's stomach he feels this is wrong, "I'm just saving you from doing the same."
The other's touch was cold as ice and Izuku felt the darkest pit in his stomach. As he realizes that soon the very meadows he also adores…
"Let me tell you how I have become this and met your mother," the man whispers as he begins to tell him the story of a monster named All for One.
"There once was a man who loved life itself it was a thing he cultivated with glee along with his little brother. Gifted in magic he caused the very tree and land to spawn to life," the man speaks even as his own body seemed to only scream of death and decay. The idea of this man having once had the power of life seemed impossible.
"But it wasn't enough for him. As his little brother worked with him the man noticed men coming to their home and taking from those around them," he starts and Izuku simply listened...
----
Yoichi was the first to point out the men extorting those near by villages leaving the people there with nothing at hand. All for One may have the power of life but he had nothing in the way of defense besides creating walls of trees to cause them annoyance. That should have been enough they could have lived off the land secluded.
It wasn't. Despite All for One's love for his creation there grew a nasty fear every time he saw evidence of these outsiders appearance. Even his brother couldn't reason with him and because he lacked the magic of his brother was ignored.
His little brother refused to help him claiming the lengths he was going was not the deal. All for One's paranoia grows when the man spirals into something monsterous. Claiming if won't use it then he will simply take it to defend them calling his little brother a coward. Unable to see the threat of trying to obtain such things he used his own magic meant to give life to make themselves unkillable.
He sacrificed every one of those men for this power.
And in that moment he realized the 'life' he had praised was also death twisting in on itself. In his attempt to escape death the very power twisted into something dark stealing life from everywhere.
A Lich king.
He was untouchable besides his little brother a caveat he placed on the spell that those of his blood would be immune. Suddenly the small little town wasn't the only thing he wished to conquer. His very body stole life from all that surrounded him with glee as he grew losing sight of the life he once had given freely with joy.
Until the death of his brother fighting against him. And in those final moments the power of life he once had was only that of death. Unable to save his brother, his power of healing was now only bringing death and in that moment the cost was too great. Slowly he began to realize as time passed while he was immortal his body still attempted to decay and age.
Yoichi had left a string of inspired souls to confront and fight him. The monster that sucks the very life out of the land itself gathering others to help him. A lonely task that made him abhor this very body as there was no one to touch him.
Inko had only found him when the latest of these warriors attacked him leaving him on the cusp between life and death.
"You would die if you touched me. You must feel it," he had spoken with a pitiful wheeze and yet still she did touch him.
"I have a talismen of protection. I'll be quick," she whispers and from there is when the miracle happened. By a woman who didn't fear death she had given him a moment of hope until eventually forced to leave. A promise to return to see the boy at least once.
Only to lead to her end.
------------
"My son, you carry life because I had once carried that very magic. Won't you please entertain this old soul?" The lich coos and Izuku feels something like sadness to the monster. A man trapped in a body that is forever decaying every day wondering how much regret the other must have as he remembers his mothers words.
Longing for a Meadow he can no longer have.
Knowing by being with this man there is a chance he will no longer see those untainted lands as everything this man touches beside his kin is death and pestilence. His very nature screams evil and should be something he abhors and in a sense he does still the stench of corpse still greeting his senses but he accepts this fact.
Instead he looks at the hand of the man that causes so much death whose very existence is an abomination. One that just living as he is causes so much death and destruction as the weight of the talismen on his neck from his mother felt heavy.
"You're barren. You aren't even able to cry even if you wanted to," Izuku notes as the other had no face or anything. Yet still clinging to those with life in them despite knowing he will only cause harm.
"I can't stay with you but... I will find a way to cure you so that you can rest. I think that is what mother would have wanted," Izuku speaks because he can't find it in himself to love something barren and full of death. A man of cruelty and yet there is kinship, acknowledgement that the other is a sick man who has survived for far too long.
"Let me try to cure you then I'll stay willingly," he speaks and this earns a laugh from the lich as if the idea was hilarious.
"Go ahead! I don't care for the why you stick around I would adore to see you try," the monster jeers as if it was a joke to him. The loneliest monster did not see any hope in escaping his self-inflicted curse but he would allow the miracle child to try.
What is an eternity to a being who can't die? Izuku knows this but he can't help but wish to see if underneath this monster was a man.
As his mother had seen something so maybe he could find it also.

Dad for One Week Day 2: "You are more than a clone."
His footsteps echo as he walks through the cold, stale room.
The hairs on the back of Izuku’s neck stand on end and chills run through him as he steps forward. The air around him smells musty, yet sweet, with the pungent odor of embalming fluid. Giant tubes line the walls with vaguely human bodies floating inside.
His father, the villain All for One, walks down the hall with a nonchalance that unnerves Izuku. As if the things in the jars and on the walls are something that any normal person would see every day. They’re filled with various organs and eyeballs and something black and oily that squirms away from the light as they pass by it.
The cuffs bite into Izuku’s wrists as he scans the area. Despite his apparent willingness to join his father, he had taken precautions and bound Izuku before they entered the most secret of his lairs.
“Impressed?” All for One’s commanding rings out through the hall.
“I-“ hate it. It’s vile and disgusting, just like you. Izuku wants to say before remembering he’s supposed to be playing the part of the “won-over hero”, “I- I don’t know what to say.” He finishes. All for One chuckles.
“Well, that’s a first. When you were little, you would go on for hours and hours about anything.” He gestures.
The silence lingers after that comment. Izuku knows he should add something. Continue the conversation so he can try to convince his father that he’s really on his side, but Izuku has never been good at lying, and he can’t think of what to say.
He hopes his father takes his silence as him continuing to process the information that his father and All for One are one and the same.
They continue walking.
At first, Izuku had been floored by the revelation that his father was All for One, but thinking back on it now, there had been points where it made sense. Kamino, for one, is something he can’t get out of his head.
He had realized afterward, that the reason All for One fought that day, was not for Tomura’s sake, or some part in his big master plan, but because that was the day that he finally got confirmation that his son was the next holder of One for All, and he was angry about it.
He looks up at the back of his father’s head, where he sees white fluffy hair matching his own green.
After Izuku had finally accepted the fact that his father was a villain, he had come up with a plan.
His would join his father, play his little game and learn as much as he could about him and his operations. Then, when the time was right, he would strike back, and finally defeat him.
But for now, he follows his father deeper into the darkness.
“I’ve thought a lot about this day.” His father speaks up again, “I had imagined it in quite a few number of ways. I’m glad we could come to this peacefully.” He lets the words fade out. Another invitation for Izuku to speak. He needs to take the opportunity this time.
“How-er no, why did you- have you done all of this? I mean, really?” Izuku asks.
“Well, that is quite a bit of a question, my son.” All for One turns to smile back at him as he says it. “With many different answers, I’m afraid.” He says returning to facing forward.
The air feels colder as they keep walking forward, though Izuku can’t tell if it’s in the air around him or the situation he’s in.
“I never started out wanting to be a villain, certainly, because when I started there was no such concept. Villains- as we think of them now- only existed in the pages of comic books, fantasy. I, on my part only wanted to help people.”
Izuku’s heard this before in parts, in the world of his dream when the first, his uncle, had first spoken to him.
“And in turn, all I asked was some goodwill in my direction, and after all why shouldn’t I? You have no idea what the world was like back then, Izuku. It wasn’t uncommon for people with meta abilities to be harassed, bullied, or just-“ he motions with his hand, “disappear.”
“We needed to look out for each other,” he resolves, “-and If I were the man to be the rallying force behind that? So be it.”
Izuku is freezing now, he’s sure of it. He can see his breath where it puffs out in front of him and shivers run down his spine.
“Ah, and here we are.”
The doorway in front of them leads to a dark empty void. Izuku realizes it’s the source of the cold, as he is ushered inside by his father.
He walks a few steps into the darkness before the lights flick on with a switch.
It takes a moment for his eyes to adjust to the light, but then Izuku freezes on the spot.
H gasps at what he sees and feels a chill burn through him as he pulls the freezing air into his lungs.
There, on the wall, all around him are him. Well, versions of him. All identical green hair and freckles at varying stages of life, but none older than he is now.
He suddenly realizes that this was a terrible plan.
“How-“ Izuku starts to ask, tears starting to cloud his vision.
“Oh well, they’ve been growing here for as long as you have.” All for One says as he stalks forwards past Izuku into the room. “But don’t worry my boy, you are more than a clone. These are yours, for when the time comes when you will need them.”
He can’t get the cuffs off.
“I needed you here, today because they need an update.”
“Uh-Update?” Izuku pants out, thinking that he may be starting to hyperventilate.
“With your current memory, so if something happens to you they can be back up, but still retain your skills and experience.”
“Although,” All for One adds on, “We need to do something about that attitude of yours.”
Izuku looks up at his father as terror floods through him.
“Yes, my boy. There's no need to fear." He puts a large land on Izuku's shoulder. "Of course, I knew this was a ploy from the beginning, after all, it’s uncharacteristic of you to have so little to say, but it’s brought you here, where we can start again.
“And maybe this time you’ll make the right decision."

My only Dad for One Week fic. The second prompt sparked something so here is a little oneshot for that. Enjoy!
All for One turned towards the wall they were hiding behind. “Are you done playing Heroes and Villains, son?”
Izuku’s blood ran cold. He knew that voice. He had been trying to ignore the part of his brain screaming at him that he knew that voice. He hadn’t heard it in years, but he knew it. How could he forget?
Rescuing Bakugou from Kamino Ward does not go as planned when Izuku is faced with the father he thought had abandoned him years ago.
